"(b)" insert "and by creating a new subsection (e)".
Page 8-after line 3 Insert:
"(e) If a proportion of a support obligor's social
security or veteran's benefit is paid directly to the custodian of the
obligor's dependents who are the subject of the child support order, the total
amount of the social security or veteran's benefit, including the amounts paid
to the obligor and custodian under the child support order, shall be counted as
gross income to the obligor. However,
in determining the support amount, the amount of the social security or
veteran's benefit sent directly to the custodian shall be subtracted from the
obligor's share of presumptive support.
If the subtraction of the social security or veteran's benefit sent
directly to the custodian results in a negative dollar amount, the support
amount shall be set at zero. The child
support obligation shall be offset by the amount of the social security or
veteran's benefit sent directly to the custodian, beginning from the time the
custodian began receiving the social security or veteran's benefit. The obligor or the department of family
services may apply to the court to receive a credit against arrears for any
social security or veteran's benefits that are paid retroactively to the custodian. For purposes of this subsection,
"custodian" means the custodian of dependent children under a child
support order and the physical custodian of dependent children who are the
subject of a child support order.". HANES, CHAIRMAN
